Thus, for those looking for that instant glow, tanning lotions containing an immediate bronzer are ideal. This bronzer only provides a temporary colour that will wash off and can last between 1 and 2 days depending on how long a client leaves their lotion on after tanning.

Do tanning bed bronzers wash off?

No, you should avoid showering right after tanning. ... Bronzers and other tanning bed lotions are designed to increase melanin production to result in darker tans. Washing away these bronzers and lotions immediately after tanning can reduce their effectiveness, and your tan may not turn out as dark as it would otherwise.
